Las Vegas Aces Edge Phoenix Mercury in Thrilling Game 3, Near Championship Title

The Las Vegas Aces defeated the Phoenix Mercury yesterday in a nail-biting Game 3 of the WNBA Finals, bringing them to within one win of their third championship in four years.

The game, played in Arizona on October 8, ended with a tie-breaking shot from Aces superstar A’ja Wilson in the final seconds. A watch party celebrating the matchup was hosted in New York City by Mariah Rose, host of the popular “Hoops for Hotties” podcast, and sponsored by Bustle and COVERGIRL at J.Bespoke cocktail lounge.

Guests at the event enjoyed makeup touch-ups featuring COVERGIRL products, themed cocktails, and snacks while watching the game. Rose, whose father is NBA analyst Jalen Rose, has cultivated a following by breaking down sports for a diverse audience, as she recently shared on Instagram. The growing popularity of the WNBA reflects a broader trend of increased viewership and investment in women’s sports, as reported by the Sports Business Journal.

With the Aces now leading the series 3-0, they will have the opportunity to clinch the championship in Game 4 on Friday, October 10.
